Custom Brush Construction

A Custom Brush is a Tool

The purpose of a brush is to clean and/or score a contaminated surface, and the design/selection of the custom brush is vital to its performance. A Mill-Rose custom brush effectively balances the following design criteria, maximizing performance and life while minimizing required power:

Length and diameter of the fill wire

Hardness and durability of the fill wire

Strength and flexibility (length & diameter) of the stem wire

For example, Mill-Rose fitting brushes are designed to clean and score the fitting, allowing for a stronger solder joint. These brushes are manufactured with the highest quality fill wire, trimmed so the tip of the wire does the work (scoring).

Twisted Wire Brush Construction

SINGLE STEM - Single Spiral
Brush fill bristles are twisted between two (2) stem wires with a single stem wire on each side of the fill wire.

DOUBLE STEM - Single Spiral
Brush fill bristles are twisted between four (4) stem wires with two stem wires on either side of the fill wire.

DOUBLE STEM - Double Spiral
Brush fill bristles are twisted between four (4) stem wires with two (2) layers of fill bristles. Fill bristle layers are perpendicular to each other.

Mill-Rose experienced significant growth from its humble beginning in 1919, and today operates manufacturing and warehouse facilities throughout the United States and Mexico. Production facilities (over 100,000 sq. ft. of space) in Mentor, Ohio and Mexico feature the latest in manufacturing techniques and quality-control. Production is complemented by a 70,000 square foot U.S. distribution center.
